Trying to jailbreak my old ps3 it runs on the newest updated firmware 4.78 but having no luck on tutorials I found online was hoping the community could help I'm newer to the jailbreaking. I tried the USB to thumb drive method it comes up with the update but seems to unpack files an try to install but keeps turning off around 50% any help or download links be great. I tried numerous update files no luck

You have to ultimately make the decision whether if you want to play online or whatever you want to have the world and go with custom firmware. Whatever choice that you make you have to realize the prices that are going to be involved going into custom firmware.

Probably best way to go would be to look into finding a reputable scene member from here or ps4news.com to downgrade it for you. I'm sure its alot more convenient to have someone else solder and flash. A week or two down the road never hurt anyone. Especially for cfw. Lolz

I use to do a lot of work but then life got in the life way of it and had to put a lot of work on hold. Now I'm getting back into it. So I'm back but I won't be taking any reballed for a few. I got a lot of my own work to do right now. And I got a friends as well with his PS3 reballed. Thanks all and let me know.
